Now this is rich! You don't have faith in Republican's when picking their candidates, but you fail to recognize that Democrats will pick Hillary over your chosen one Bernie? LOL That awesome faith in Democrats should you leave you wanting, but you dang sure won't admit it!
Chosen one Sanders? Is this more right wing religious nonsense like when you guys would call Obama the Messiah?
Maybe the Democrats will pick Sanders, maybe it will be Clinton, but both would be better options than what the GOP will scrape together.
critizing us for pollution and treatment of illegal immigrants is a tough task considering the charges launched against the roman catholic church by orphans and indians.
But instead you have Hillary leading the dem pack and her track record on corporatism, offshoring etc. is as bad as anyones from either party.
And her poll numbers continue to slide as Sanders continues to see his poll numbers grow, it is a long way from nomination still. Hillary makes for a great lightning rod to distract the GOP. Trump is another great lightning rod to also distract the GOP.
Capitalism is the greatest economic model in human history and is responsible for lifting billions out of poverty. The poorest person on this planet is better off than the poorest person on Earth in the 1600s, around the time capitalism was developed.
That said, it is time for the GOP to recognize that Capitalism and free markets, for all of its benefits, still leaves people behind and to heed the words of Jesus when he said "the poor you will always have with you." (Mark 14:7)
This is why I am voting for John Kasich, he is a man with sound conservative principles, but has consistently acknowledged that our system still leaves people behind and that they need to be helped.
Why is it that non-Catholics, atheists, liberals, and communists love this Pope, but MANY people in the Catholic Church (gee............. the Pope is the head of OUR church) dont like him?
Christ was not a politician and did not delve into politics. Liberals, atheists, and communists always delve into politics. Perhaps this Pope should try to emulate Christ, rather than Lenin.

As I've pointed out to you before, the Catholic Church has never seen this many people return and this much engagement from its faithful.
Just because people in your politically extreme world aren't happy doesn't mean those who see Jesus' message of helping the poor and stewarding the Earth come to life aren't inspired.
Funny that the same resistance Christ faced in his time is now manifest today in those who invoke his name yet resist his message.
I know many Catholics who are ecstatic about Pope Francis.

Dude, you really need to look into Catholic teaching. Nothing the pope is talking about is contrary to the teachings of the church. Benedict XVI was just more of an internal guy and dealt with sexual abuse and liturgical abuses without much outreach.
Congratulations on serving up an Anthropomorphism Fallacy.
Capitalism -- a Property Theory, and Free Markets -- an Economic System often employed with Capitalism, are inanimate.
Those who get "left behind" are those who refuse to avail themselves of the myriad opportunities to help themselves.
Neither I nor anyone else is under any legal, moral or ethical obligation to help people who do not want help and constantly refuse help.
If only it were so easy. I envy people who can convince themselves vast segments of the population are just being lazy. Makes it easier to sleep at night.
In reality, capitalism, by definition, has winners and losers. It's a competitive system. It can do a lot but can't solve everything.
